ROFL...and to think I have no qualms about taking a carrier into a fight and allowing it to go into structure.
Honestly, if you have 5-10 battleships focus firing on you for 3-4 mins then what the hell is the rest of your fleet doing??? Are they running a stopwatch and measuring how long it takes you to pop?
A carrier sitting at safespot is a waste of 10's of thousands of hitpoints that could be absorbed for your fleet and it is also a waste of some capital high-slots that could easily turn the tide in an engagement.
assume your useinf non faction. and you get your lowest resistance to 80%
dual capital reps with maxed skills. they are hitting you at 80% resistance. you can tank 4300 Raw DPS.
20 BS hitting you with 500 DPS = 10,000 DPS. 5700 leaks through.
guess how long its gona take to pop you?
less then 60seconds
that is with only 20BS shooting you
recently i have seen many vids where a whole fleet concentrates fire power onto a single DRED and it dies very very fast. one off the top of my mind, a fleet of what looked like 30BS + support warped into a group [5-6 dreds] and poped one of the dreds so fast.
one min of concentrated firepower to kill a ship which outputs 3000 DPS useing drones and costs 1.5bils per loss [including drones] if i where a FC i think i would call it pirmary.
Aye, but you arent thinking about the other side of the equation. Wonderful, the 20 enemy BS can pop you in under a minute.
But....in that full 60 seconds, how many of those enemy battleships can the carrier and its accompaning fleet kill? Obviously the carrier and its attendant fleet will be focus firing as well, so those 20 BS are going to start dropping relatively fast....and as each and every one slowly, but surely drops the DPS that the carrier is taking will drop, therefore its survival time, will rise, most likely to a point where the carrier can happily tank all the damage the, now decimated, enemy fleet is pumping out, and will quite happily stomp all over the enemy fleet.....along with its inctact support fleet, seeing as the Carrier was the only ship absorbing all the incoming fire.
